Default Are these brevets the real deal

I recently purchased a large lot of Air Force brevets, which I'm absolutely sure are the genuine thing. I've looked on here and google and, on the whole, I'm happy with them (although at some time I'm sure I'll ask the forum's opinion).

However, there were a lot of other nations included; Canadian, NZ, Australian, which I'm not really sure about. Therefore, I'd be most grateful if any of the forum experts could give me their opinion on these brevets. Out of all these, it's only the RAAF badge that actually feels new and a little suspicious:

No problem, many thanks for the reply. Shame, as that now throws into doubt my thoughts on the RAF brevets, where I wanted originals to go with my RAF aircrew medal collection.

Regards,

John.
